Situation:

  1. I have a program written in VB6
  2. The source code of the program is not available
  3. It connects to a database using ODBC connection string.
  4. The vendor setup a connection name to the database when the program was first installed 6 years ago
  5. My machine crashed, all the settings are gone!
  6. The program vendor is out of business. Even they don’t have the source of the program now.

Question:

Can I find the ODBC connection name in anyway?

    You can use Process Explorer to catch the connection string your program is trying to open. You can find almost everything a program is doing, and you can filter what information is captured/displayed.
